Those steep Putney gardens dropping away from Victorian terraces need more than just planting – they need structure. Stone terraces, retaining walls and smart drainage transform challenging slopes into usable spaces.
Response within 24 hours
Victorian properties along Putney Hill present unique hard landscaping puzzles. Narrow side returns, dramatic level changes, and century-old boundary walls all demand creative solutions. Natural stone works brilliantly here, complementing original brickwork whilst solving practical problems like surface water management and creating level entertaining areas.
Permeable paving tackles SW15's clay soil drainage issues head-on. York stone matches period architecture beautifully, whilst modern porcelain offers low-maintenance alternatives for busy professionals. Retaining walls carved into slopes maximise garden space – crucial when square footage comes at such a premium between Putney Common and the river.
Twenty years solving Putney's trickiest garden challenges means knowing which materials survive our microclimate. Local knowledge matters when you're excavating near hundred-year-old foundations or working around mature plane trees.

Absolutely – from riverside properties near Putney Bridge to the grander homes backing onto Putney Heath. Regular projects in Roehampton and Barnes too, wherever SW15 extends.
Most driveways take 2-3 weeks from breaking ground to parking your car. Complex projects involving significant excavation or drainage work might stretch to 4 weeks, especially during wet months.
All structural work carries decade-long protection against settlement or movement. Materials themselves often have manufacturer warranties too – we'll explain what's covered during your consultation.
Terracing transforms unusable slopes brilliantly. Using gabion walls, timber sleepers or natural stone, we carve out flat spaces for patios, lawns or vegetable patches. Proper drainage prevents water logging on newly levelled areas.
